Can you tell if the bump on my nose is natural or I got it from injury?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I bumped my nose harshly on the stairs of a shallow pool when I was around 9 years old. No one in my family has a bump on their nose like me, and I was just wondering if it was genetic or an injury.
A.It seems like the bump is different from each side which usually from trauma. Whether it is from trauma or genetic won’t matter should you decide to correct the hump with rhinoplasty. The most important aspect of any aesthetic procedure is choosing your surgeon carefully based on their skill, knowledge, experience, and natural artistic vision. A few great rhinoplasty surgeons whom I would recommend are Dean Toriumi, MD (Chicago), Steven Pearlman,MD(New York), and Ari Hyman, MD (Encino, CA). Good luck and be well.
